I got march of shamed once because I genuinely forgot, it somehow shortcircuits my brain when I need to wait for approval, thinking I've already paid and walk out after waiting for the person to come tap some buttons :|
After the bot attacks I've cleaned up and implemented some additional measures thanks to some helpful users, but I'd also like to monitor the situation in case someone from my server decides to go on a spam rampage......
Not super easily. It can be done by querying the postgresql dabase, but there is no built-in method to do it using the browser interface at the moment. When anyone from any instance does report them, you will see the report.
Do you have an example of a query I could use? I'm a bit rusty with databases :) with an example I can get chatgpt to build me something better
Yeah that's the issue I'm having, someone sent me a postgres command in DM earlier but it does seem to be a bit of a nuke/picking up ordinary users....
Yup I've got them, luckily 5 or more repeating numbers in their email pretty much identified 99% of them. Would you like me to send the CSV somewhere? 27k+ bots
Yeah I started on a dinky little server and now it's massive.... mostly seems to be a memleak or something going on though that's causing OOM and a massive CPU spike. Anyone know anything? 4GB of RAM getting eaten for breakfast... just had to up it to 8
On 0.17.4, has anyone else noticed this? The last few days the server chewed through 2GB of RAM... then yesterday it chewed through 4GB after an upgrade in about 2 days and now seems to be chewing through about 100MB/hour with no sign of stopping....
I'm not sure how authentication works for Lemmy, but you could just grab de new post form and send it to Lemmy, to an existing community or creating on with the same subreddit name
I just put my instance through cloudflare, it seems okay. I would guess cloudflare won't be that fussed considering it's federated/easily accessible from others.
I'm not on either the instance reported from or the instance reported to, I have my own instance. Why am I getting these reports/would care about them?
This server does work in China, however I would still advise a VPN for anyone coming here from within authoritarian regimes. I've taken precautions and mask IPs in the logs but still....
Mine is actually also a VPS, my electricity is too unstable to host at home :')
It's pretty light though, 2GB RAM and 2vCPUs and about 10GB of space. It shot up to 9.5GB over a few days as people added more communities, then slowed down a lot. We have ~60 users as of now

That sounds like a particularly horrible idea, there's no way to know. I would take the risk on electronics, not something you actually put into your body.

Server has been successfully moved
Sorry for the downtime, the server has been moved onto better infrastructure so hopefully it won't go down as frequently in the future
Is there an easy way to know who is spamming from my instance and contact other admins?

Can you help me deal with the bots?
Trying to purge them and set up with Lemmy Ansible, I've disabled signups without admin approval for now....
Self Hosted Lemmy instance comments terribly out of sync?
Is anybody else running into this problem?...
We seem to be memleaking

Someone should make and extension that grabs what you post on reddit and sends it here

My /r/piracy troll post just hit reddit frontpage! (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
I'm also going viral on mastodon. WTF is going on?! :D
Why am I getting reports from other instances? (latte.isnot.coffee)

while the china community here is still young....
i hope this place takes off, reddit sucks and has for a while, it just has a critical mass of users so as a forum it works well. but i digress....
YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

What are YOU self-hosting?
A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running....
